March 3 ~ Sign of Spring

Happy Saturday everyone! :) Hope you're all well - I know I am. Spent today pottering about, so not much time for photos - this was one I grabbed when I saw the last of the crocuses in the yard looking good. Dashed out, cut one, put it in a glass of water, and CLICK!

I'm on Moon Watch at the moment; waiting for the eclipse to really get going, and hopefully get a couple of shots of it. The cloud seems to have broken up enough to let us get a good show. It means a late night for me though; totality is around 10:45 tonight, but I have to be up at 3:30am for my trip out to Holy Island to photograph the sunrise. The eclipse better be GOOD :D

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow; Holy Island is a location I've wanted to photograph for a long time now, and it's not often that the tides coincide with sunrise as perfectly as they will tomorrow. Fingers crossed the weather's good!

Hope the eclipse is good :)

Am looking forward to some great Holy Island shots - wish we could join you; I bet it will be beautiful at sunrise.

The crocus looks gorgeous fully opened.

What a beautiful shot! The details are so fine and the colors are wonderful!
It is great to see a crocus, especially since the ones in my yard are still buried underneath a mountain of snow!
